2 Boys Sue Priest for Sex Abuse | Headlines, News, the Philippine Star
Wed | 11/06/2013 03:00am | Forex: $1: 43.195 Follow Us: Like 2 boys sue priest for sex abuse Updated January 16, 2003 - 12:00am 0 0 googleplus 0 0 CEBU CITY  Finally, they summoned the courage. Six months after they went public, during which time they claimed to have gotten no justice from the Catholic Church, two of three former altar boys of the Basilica del Santo Niño filed charges of sexual abuse against an Augustinian priest before the city prosecutors office here. Michal Gatchalian and Jun Ryan Duhaylungsod, assisted by lawyer Paulino Labrado of the Childrens Legal Bureau, filed a complaint for acts of lasciviousness against Rev. Fr. Apolinario "Jing" Mejorada for alleged sexual abuses committed in the late 1990s when they were still minors. The filing of the complaint came as a stinging rebuke to the findings of a team from the Cebu Archdiocese tasked by Ricardo Cardinal Vidal to investigate the complaint after the three former altar boys went public with their allegations last July. The investigating team from the archdiocese released its findings only a few days ago but did not categorically say if the priest was guilty, saying only that he appeared so. Also, it did not propose any sanctions, preferring to let that action be taken by the Augustinian order. "Seeing no justice from within the church leadership, I have decided to seek justice from the regular courts, hoping that such bastardly (sic) acts of Fr. Jing would be given due course in accordance with law," Gatchalian stated in his affidavit.

Facebook Posts on Cimatu Puts Former Gov't Official in Hot Water
STRATEGIC BANNER COMMUNICATION UPPER PAGE 1 EDITORIAL CARTOON STORY STORY INITIATIVES PAGE LOWER SERVICE June 29, 2020 PAGE 1/ DATE TITLE : May 31, 2020 Facebook posts on Cimatu puts former gov’t official in hot water Published June 27, 2020, 8:09 PM The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) on Saturday assailed the social media posts of a former Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) official alleging irregularity in Secretary Roy Cimatu’s recent trip to Cebu City. DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu (DENR / MANILA BULLETIN FILE PHOTO) “That’s nothing but fake news,” DENR Undersecretary and spokesman Benny Antiporda said in reaction to the allegations of former CFO chair Imelda Nicolas made on Facebook last June 25. Antiporta said the DENR is already studying the possibility of filing a case for cyber libel against Nicolas for spreading false information on social media. In her Facebook post, Nicolas alleged that “70 rooms were reserved at Seda Hotel for Cimatu’s team. She also pointed out that the cheapest room in the said hotel costs P5,000. “That’s P300,000 a day. For 1 week, that’s 2.240 m (million),” she stated in her post. “This is just rooms. Cost of accommodation. You still have to factor in food and transportation,” Nicolas further said. “How many PPEs (personal protective equipment) and test kits can that buy? How many sacks of rice can that buy? Is this how you rid yourself of blame? Is this how you save lives?” Antiporda dismissed Nicolas’ claims as “utterly baseless, unfounded, untrue, and malicious.” “What 70 rooms she was talking about? Secretary Cimatu went to Cebu with just one aide,” Antiporda explained, adding that “Secretary Cimatu is a decent man.” “As a former soldier, he has developed a skill and good judgment in the use of resources.
